Synchronize the Global Address Book

The content—groups and computers—of the global address book (GAB) at the viewer level is stored locally for faster access. If changes are made to an address book group, its content is retrieved automatically from the enterprise or domain manager when you click the group. If you are unsure that the displayed content is up to date, you can synchronize the GAB.

Note: Port numbers are entered automatically in the global address book but manually in the local address book. If a computer changes its primary network address, the host sends the change to the manager so it can update the GAB.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the Global Address Book node.
2. Click Synchronize in the context menu that appears.

   The local content of the node is refreshed with new content retrieved from the GAB of the manager.
